We are exploring the creation of a Rational Press that would
provide a branding for books that discuss, amplify, explore, or
promote technology relevant to Rational's business. The number
of books written by Rational employees hovers somewhere around
50; add to that books written by other than Rational employees
and the number grows to well over one hundred.
As one step in our exploration, we'd like to get a handle on
what books have been published, are under contract to be published,
or are being considered for contract by Rational employees. If
any of this applies to you, please email
me (but please don't email everyone...) the title of your
book, the publisher, the actual or expected date of publication,
the state of the work (out of print, in print, under contract,
just being considered), the language of publication, the existence
of any translations, and the names of any co-authors. If you are
a series editor, would you please let me know as well?
For now, I'm only interested in books; that means journals, columns,
or white papers in any form - electronic or dead tree - are outside
the scope of this survey.
Rational folks are a creative bunch, so while I'm at it, if you
have published, are under contract to publish, or are considering
publication of any non-technical work - meaning, it's not related
to Rational's core business - would you please let
me know as well? (For example, I'm aware of one screenplay
under development).
